Project 2025 pushes automated trucks, pumps brakes on EVs

WASHINGTON — If former President Donald Trump wins back the White House in November, The Heritage Foundation hopes he will embrace the organization’s policy playbook, which would reward autonomous trucking while slowing the timeline for electric vehicles (EVs).

Those objectives are outlined in the U.S. Department of Transportation chapter of the 900-page presidential transition “Mandate for Leadership” road map known as Project 2025, published by the conservative Heritage Foundation.

“En este sector de camiones, hay una demanda reprimida de los tres años anteriores de la industria bajo la producción, y los clientes necesitan para reemplazar las flotas de envejecimiento”, dijo el CEO de Paccar Preston Feight en la compañía de 24 de enero de cuarto trimestre llamada de ganancias.

Bob Biesterfeld, president and CEO of C.H. Robinson Worldwide Inc., stepped down Tuesday. From my corporate experience, this is the nicest way of saying one was about to be fired. FreightWaves’ Mark Solomon wrote that according to a person familiar with the matter, this departure had been planned months in advance and mostly was a matter of timing. 

Part of the firing appears to be tied to performance. Solomon wrote: “The third-quarter results...

Western Star hood logo

Daimler Truck North America está llamando a revisión a unos 4.000 camiones Western Star porque se siguen desprendiendo piezas brillantes y se caen del capó. Los restos resultantes en la carretera podrían provocar un accidente. 

La última llamada a revisión se parece a una realizada en abril que reveló inadvertidamente el camión 57X en carretera meses antes del debut oficial en agosto. DTNA no ha informado de que haya habido accidentes o lesiones en ninguna de las dos retiradas.

Truck Tech: Plant anatomy edition

Logo of Truck Tech newsletter

How did Navistar manage to build its assembly plant in San Antonio for a relatively paltry $250 million? Partly by ignoring a famous baseball movie line. Also this week, Daimler Truck North America preps technicians to work on electric trucks. And every step van on the market could be electrified — today, a North American Council for Freight Efficiency report says.
